Do you offer Intro-level classes?
Yes! They meet once a week for one hour, for four weeks. The cost for the series is $99.
Do I have to be a member to take classes?
No! All private lessons, enhancement classes, and enrollment classes can be purchased on their own. However, practice hours can only be accessed with a membership or a practice hour package.
What’s the difference between enhancement and enrollment classes?
Enhancement classes are one time classes that do not require commitment past the individual class. Enrollment classes are a 4 week commitment. Enrollment classes build on each other to learn more content, skills, and technique.
What are your health and cleaning policies?
Our facility is professionally cleaned on a regular basis. Our appointments only allow for a limited number of people in each room to give everyone the ability to distance from others. Cleaning products are provided along with cleaning instructions for the equipment. Hand sanitizer stations are placed generously around the building. We follow all CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19 diagnoses.
Can I purchase individual private lessons at a level other than intro?
Yes! Email schedule@femmefataledayton.com to schedule a private lesson at any level!
Can I sign up for a practice hour without taking classes?
Yes! However, this option is only available for those with previous aerial experience. For your safety, those with little to no aerial experience are required to participate in private lessons or enrollment classes. If you have previous aerial experience, please email schedule@femmefataledayton.com to schedule a free assessment!
How do I sign up for classes?
Which classes do most clients start with?
Most clients start with enhancement classes before committing to an enrollment class. If you would like to take an enrollment class, all clients without previous experience must begin at the Intro level.
I want to start with an enrollment class! Which ones can I take?
Any intro level or dance class (Beginner Chair, Belly Dance, etc.) is a great place to start!
How much do classes cost?
Our enhancement classes range in price from $15 to $30. Enrollment classes range from $99 (classes with no prerequisites) to $150 (specialty classes and leveled classes with prerequisites). Please see our current schedule to see class prices.
What is a practice hour?
Practice hours are rented room hours in our studio. Scheduling an appointment gives you the ability to enter the studio and practice whatever you’d like. (Previous aerial experience is required.) Practice hours are available 7 days a week from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, depending on room availability.
I have aerial experience, what should I do?

I’ve never taken a pole or aerial class before, what type of fitness level is required?
All of our enhancement classes are meant for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you live at the gym or avoid it like the plague, we cater our classes to challenge both physical spectrums. For our pole and aerial classes we recommend that everyone take the Intro level first. Within each level you will grow in strength and endurance and become more comfortable and self confident. We often hear, “I would come to class but I have no upper body strength, coordination, and/ or flexibility.” We are here to tell you that Femme Fatale Dayton is where you can achieve those qualities; you do not need them to get started!
Are the classes a good workout?
Get ready for the workout of your life! All of our enhancement classes sculpt the entire body giving you maximum results in minimal amount of time! Our goal is for you to actually have fun while working out…but be sore the next day! For our 4 week courses you are learning in detail about a physical art. We make sure you learn at a rate where you are challenged and safe. The more you learn, the stronger you become mentally and physically.
What do I wear and bring to class?
We suggest coming in layers because the studio and your body start off cool and warm up quickly. For pole, fitted shorts work best because skin is your friend on the pole! Fitted tanks are perfect for beginner pole classes and sports bras are ideal for advanced pole classes. Pole students beyond the Intro level are required to bring their own grip aids to class. Once students complete Intro, most students know which type fits their needs best. For aerial, comfortable fitted clothing is best, especially if it goes past the knee and shoulder. Belly Dance students are encouraged to bring a money skirt to class. Dance Fuzion students need gym shoes. Liquid Motion® requires knee pads, and tall socks or leg warmers are encouraged. Please be aware the no jewelry, metal watch bands, or zippers are permitted on any apparatus. All students should bring plenty of water to class. Students may also bring their own yoga mats to the studio, if available. And finally, we recommend bringing a notebook and pen/pencil with you to class!
Is there an age or weight limit?
There is no age limit but we do require that you are 18 and up. You will find all shapes and sizes at our classes! No matter what age or weight, we customize your experience so that you are challenged and get a great workout. The studio is aimed toward adults and some of the songs we play and content/classes contain adult content. Even if you feel your child or underage friend is mature enough for class, we must take into consideration the comfort level of all of our students. For this reason, there is no exception to this policy in our group classes. However, we do allow minors in private lessons provided the legal parent/guardian signs a liability waiver.
What if I’m late to class?
Due to the layout of class, your safety in performing a whole warm up prior to getting on the equipment, and the respect of fellow students, no one will be admitted into class 10 minutes past the start time. Please make sure to plan appropriately for traffic and/or weather conditions before you head out.
